Inside Buildertrend: From idea to product




The Building Code show

Summary: This special episode drop kicks off our new “Inside Buildertrend” series for “The Building Code.” Every other Thursday, we’ll give our listeners a glimpse into the inner workings of our business. What are our teams working on? What features are coming up and how will they benefit our users? What data and research are being collected behind the scenes? Tune in as we take a look inside Buildertrend.   What happened inside Buildertrend in 2021? In this premiere episode of the “Inside Buildertrend” series, Russ Lane, our director of product, joins Zach and Charley to recap some of the company highlights of 2021.   Hear about user feedback, the React conversion and quick preview on some highly anticipated upcoming feature updates and releases.   What are the key takeaways? User feedback: All our product updates start with our customers. They tell us what they need or how we can make their jobs easier, and we prioritize based on the complexity. From there, updates or new features are built and gradually rolled out.   The React conversion: By modernizing an older framework, this conversion laid the groundwork for current and future product updates and allows our team to deliver the best experience for our customers.   Feature highlights: We’re touching briefly on new and upcoming product releases such as the redesigned Summary page, offline Daily Logs and global search. Listen to upcoming episodes in the “Inside Buildertrend” series for an in-depth overview.   Why is this cool for Buildertrend users?
